sAMY (Striatum-like amygdalar nuclei) projects to PAG (Periaqueductal gray)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Injecting AAVretro-Cre into caudolateral PAG plus Cre-dependent virus in the amygdala labeled PAG-projecting neurons in the AmgC/M but not the CeA of female mice; these neurons were all VGAT-positive.

- Named in the paper
- “AmgC/M (border between central and medial amygdala)” and “caudolateral PAG”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Retro-Cre in the PAG labeled AmgC/M but not CeA neurons in females (Fig. 2B), and all of them were VGAT-positive (Fig. 2E).”

proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
